    I would answer it if it made any sense, it’s that simple. 

    Perhaps you simply don’t have the life experience or familiarity with the business world (lol) to make sense of a simple question asking which message you were responding to. After all, we’ve already established that simple analogies are outside your comfort zone. 

    Have a great evening...

    I’m not insulting you, I just think you lack proper life experience to understand. 

    Again, unnecessary and uninteresting. 

    And like the rest of your post is, utterly baseless and irrelevant. You should self-reflect on why your go-to is to evade simple questions and make disingenuous comments instead. 

    Wait...

    I’m not sure why you keep inserting yourself into this conversation with these strange questions. You’re not Socrates and they make very little sense. You come off as a college student honestly, which is why I’m sure you can’t relate to the business world and leadership styles in general.

    Hmmm, unnecessary and uninteresting. 

    Also predictably, a non sequitur that seeks to mask your inability to answer even the simplest of questions.

    I’m glad you left out Hitler, we can both agree that was hyperbolic nonsense. But If collusion is proven, sure, I’m all for getting his ass out of there. Until then, life is pretty damn good. 

    Just out of curiosity, what post did you think you were being responsive to since we can agree that it was not the one you quoted?

    Stop with the football analogies, they make zero sense. In your scenario, you would pull Trump and put in Pence, which I’m sure you would love as well. But again, these weird football references are not applicable. 

    omfg.

    you really can't distinguish between literally analogizing the tactics of a football game to the presidency with analogizing making a judgment prior to the end of the game that a quarterback simply doesn't have the talent and skill to be successful to reaching judgments or conclusions about the effectiveness of a president prior to the end of their term?

    seriously?  are you a simpleton or are you obtuse as i asked above?

  6. why can you make a judgment of disapproval of one aspect of his presidency now but not other specific aspects of his presidency?

    you affirmatively state you still support him (apparently blindly) with no basis for that other than to say you won't be able to ultimately decide if he was worthy of that support in January 2021.  that's not chasing anything, that's me restating what you said (as utterly moronic as it was).  then you criticized his leadership traits.

    i'm simply trying to understand what that even means...which is admittedly a fool's errand.

  7. fuck ou.

    Many of you have displayed some interest in knowing if hell exists, and whether you or others may go there when you die.  Bear in mind, that Satan works overtime to convince people that He and hell doesn't exist.  That is the furthest thing from the truth.

    Perhaps the following information from the Bible will help answer your questions:

    1.  Hell was not originally created for man.  It was created for Satan and his angels or demons who rebelled against God in heaven and were cast out and sent to Earth.  Hell will be their eternal place of torment in the future.

    2.  Because God made the world perfect in every way, He created man and woman in His image to enjoy His creation in perfect harmony with Himself.  Unfortunately, Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God,  and as a result, sin entered the world.  Our human nature was then altered so we became aware of what sin was, and apart from God, we could not live a life free of sin.

    3.  Knowing this, God demanded that man to be forgiven by keeping the law.  God kept His end of the agreement, but we did not keep our end. We disobeyed God, committed sins, and the sacrifices we offered were not enough as they had to be done on a continual basis.  

    4.  Thankfully, God's love for us sinners was greater than we could ever imagine.  He knew from the beginning that man could not live up to the laws that would provide salvation, so His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, was sent to pay for our sins on the cross.  This sacrifice was done once and for all people, so God's wrath and justice were satisfied forever.  And, this gift was offered to anyone willing to call on Him for salvation, to confess their sins, and to accept His gift of forgiveness.  It couldn't be earned any other way.  Good works without faith is not enough.  And, Christ died while we were sinners.  He didn't require us to get right with Him before we are saved.  Once we are forgiven by our trust in Him, His Holy Spirit enters our lives to help us resist the power of sin so that we are no longer slaves to sin.  We may fail at times, but He still forgives us and helps us to lead better lives in His power, and not our own.

    5.  Many of the greatest people who ever lived understood the gospel or good news of God, and became believers in the finished work of Christ on the cross.  Most of the greatest scientists were Christians.  Countless others from the richest to the poorest were believers.  Every founder of the Ivy League colleges, except one, was a Christian.  Bach, Beethoven and Mozart were Christians, as was Pascal, Newton, Babbage, Carver, Von Braun, and thousands of others you have read about.  

    I leave you with a couple questions and thoughts.  Why would God allow His only son to die a cruel death if there was another way for man to be forgiven of their sins?  He tried every other way, and they didn't work.  Christianity would collapse in a day if Christ had not risen from the dead.  His resurrection proves that He was the Messiah, sent to die in our place for the forgiveness of our sins.  Why is His grave the only vacant tomb of all the other so called founders of other religions?  By the way, Christ did not come to establish another religion.  He came to establish a relationship between sinful men and the one and only true God.  Christ's death was God's judgement against sin so that whosoever believed in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.  All past, present, and future sins were forgiven once and for all who place their trust in Christ.

    I'm not going to hell when I die, not because I don't deserve to be there, but because my faith in His son's death and resurrection paid the ransom for my sins.  I have a received a pardon from God that He paid for.  Why would I reject that?  Why would you?  God does not send anyone to hell.  They send themselves because they have rejected his gift of salvation.

    Amos 4:12 says "Prepare to meet God. "  Are you ready to face Him, and to give an account of your life?  You can be ready by turning to Him for salvation, and not trusting in your works.

    I suggest you read the Book of John.  You may also read the testimony of Napoleon Bonaparte who was saved shortly before his death on the island of Saint Helena.  I would also recommend seeing the movie, "Paul, the Apostle of Christ."  You may find that these will be helpful in your search for a new life in Christ.

    Exactly.

    By this reasoning, the number of quarterbacks benched during a game in progress would be permanently pegged at ZERO.  I mean, we have to let him finish the game before we judge his performance.  And hey, if we throws 6 picks so we lose a crucial game and miss the playoffs, so be it.  And if he's going to repeatedly throw passes in ways that put our WRs in vulnerable positions so they get blown up and put on the DL, who are we to judge until the game is over?

    well, in fairness...colorado DID still win the fucking 2001 big 12 championship.

    I’ve already stated that I don’t approve of the name calling, not sure how I can clarify it any further than that. That has been part of the political discord well before Trump though, so claiming it’s only his tactic is very shortsighted. 

    Allowing someone a full term is not an arbitrary time table, so I’m having a hard time following you on that claim. 

    i see, you're just disingenuous and obtuse.

    as well as inconsistent.  you say you don't approve of the name calling. that is a judgment.  you aren't reserving your judgment on that aspect of his presidency.  so why are you reserving judgment on all other aspects of his presidency?

    or are you?

    Well, that took a rather circuitous route. I was mainly referring to the poster I was quoting, but extrapolating from that some endorsement of Trump’s behavior is rather strange. It’s one of his less redeeming qualities, to be sure. 

    On Obama, I certainly tried my best to be objective. 

    no, you either approve of certain behavior or you do not...nothing strange about it unless you find logic strange.

    you essentially say someone engaging in childish name-calling is not a positive reflection on them in the context of college football message board.

    however, when it is the primary tactic of the president of the united states in attempts to bully the people he wants to harm, you state that you are reserving judgment on trump until an arbitrary day in January 2021. 

    did you reserve judgment entirely on obama's first term until January 2013? 

  12. 38 minutes ago, Chrispy said:

    Yes, I’m goin to assess his job performance after his first term. 

    As for the name calling and hysterics, it’s both unnecessary and uninteresting.

    unless you are the president, amirite?  the one you just affirmatively stated you "support."  name calling and hysterics are definitely unnecessary and uninteresting for him...certainly beneath him.

    did you reserve judgment on obama's job performance on each issue from 2009 to 2013 until late January 2013?  just out of curiosity.

    Please. You act like RM had it all the way. Juve were bang into them from the kickoff and dominated for about 85 minutes today. 

    but they never, not once, ever actually held a lead over madrid. and anyone who has watched them over the last five years knows that no matter what, no matter anything in the entire fucking universe, when it comes down to it, the breaks and fortune will always go the way of real madrid.  whether it's ignoring Ronaldo's diving that should draw a card, offsides goals, whatever...it always goes their way.  Sergio ramos, marcelo, and casemiro should never even be allowed to play soccer again for all their bullshit but there they are every memorial day weekend...every year.

    there's a reason that juve scored 3, not 4.

    I appreciate the response.

    So where we sit is that the DA or taint team or whatever is going to hit control "F" on the inbox and files of Cohen and search "Russia" and anything they find in there that might incriminate anyone will be released.  If that is the case then there doesn't even need to be courts anymore.  Just get the tapes of the convos between client and attorney and either burn the witches or let them go.  No need for dog and pony shows.

    I really don't understand how this can happen in our system.  IF YOU ASSUME that Mueller is trying to nab trump, isn't this the equivilent of Mueller saying "I couldn't find anything on you so let's just look at your communication with your attorney and see if you have talked at all about my investigation or evidence I might have missed or even maybe a recorded conversation where you say "yeah we had the help with russia, but Mueller will never find out how."  Under the assumption that mueller's job is to chop off the head of the dragon then it's hard to see how this is anything but "get trump at all costs" move.

    no, you don't have a solid understanding of how this works.

    Thanks.  So given the scope of the investigation, what would be privileged and what wouldn't be?  

    Privileged: 

    Email from Cohen to Trump dated whatever: "Donald, I think it makes strategic sense to respond favorably to Class Counsel's offer of settlement in the Trump University matter as their offer is in the same ballpark as actual damages.  We should go to mediation soon and determine if we can get this deal done."

     

    Not Privileged:

    Email from Cohen to Trump dated whatever: "Donald, I talked to Felix Sater today and Aras Agalarov and they confirmed that per your request, they will talk to Putin about you easing sanctions after the election if he loosened his grip on the St. Petersburg development this week."
